Albert Quay in Cork

A visit to Edwardian Cork captures the docks on an unusually quiet Sunday.

Cork's Albert Quay, named in honour of Victoria and Albert's visit to the city in 1849, is seen here on a relatively quiet Sunday morning in 1902. Views of Montenotte can be clearly appreciated from the quayside and the camera follows a Mitchell and Kenyon showman in a white hat, who appears to be subtly directing the action.
